NTCP
NIO-Based TCP (Non-blocking I/O based TCP): one of two Kovri transports

The Basics

NIO-Based TCP (Non-blocking I/O based TCP) is one of two encrypted @transports for @Kovri.

Similar to @SSU, @NTCP's primary purpose is to securely transmit @in-net @I2NP messages through @tunnels but, unlike @SSU, @NTCP functions solely over encrypted TCP.

In-depth information

  • Passes along individual @I2NP messages (both Standard and Time Sync) after:
    • TCP has been established
    • Establishment Sequence has been completed
  • Uses the following @encryption:
  • Establishment Sequence has the following states:
    • Pre-establishment
    • Establishment
    • Post-establishment or "Established"
  • Uses the following from the @network-database:
    • Transport name: NTCP
    • Host: IP (IPv4 or IPv6) or host name (shortened IPv6 address (with "::") is allowed)
    • Port: 1024 - 65535
